Vanderbilt SPC is a proven intrusion and alarm solution, now part of the ACRE Security portfolio.
With the Virtual SPC Receiver integration, you gain full visibility and control over your intrusion systems directly inside evalink.
The integration is based on FlexC, Vanderbilt’s secure communication protocol, which ensures fast, encrypted, and reliable data exchange between SPC panels and evalink. FlexC enables real-time transmission of alarms, events, states, and control commands, forming the backbone of seamless communication.
From push-to-talk communication and time-based arming to remote control and real-time event handling – the integration brings alarm workflows, access control, and site security together in one powerful interface.
A key feature is the evalink Installer Portal, which allows internal teams, external service providers, and subcontractors to onboard and connect new SPC panels quickly and securely.
Installers can view their devices and test results in real time, switch systems into test mode, perform much of the configuration and parameterization themselves, and even generate keys and credentials directly in the portal. This makes the setup process faster, more transparent, and highly efficient.
